Note du spécialiste

Jean Pierre Cortot (d. 1843) studied at the Ecole des Beaux Arts, Paris. After winning the Prix de Rome in 1809, he returned to Paris as professor at the Ecole. His original marble of the Soldier of Marathon is in the Louvre. Barbedienne edited the model in four sizes, the present cast being an example of the second largest.
